IMPROVEMENT IN MUGILAGE-HOLDERS.

T0 ALL WHOM IT MAY ONGERN Y 4 Be itl known that I, WILLIAM W. BEACH, of the city and Stute oi` N.ew York, have invented,.made, and

applied to use :t certain new end usefulvmprovement in Muciiztgc-Hohiers; and I do hereb'y declare the follow ing to be a. full, clear,- and exact description ofthe seidinvention, reference being had to the annexed drawing, making part of this specification, whereinp i- Figure 1 is :t vertical section of my u lucilege-hoidernnd brush, ready to he matic use ot. Figure 2 is the withdrawing-screw and cop to the brush.

Figure 3 is il' section of themucilageholder, brush, and withdrrm'ing-rodg and Figure -i is :t vertical section of u modiiiczition of said mucilnge-holder, as inta posit-ion for use.

My invention consists in e muciloge-hoider and brush in which the brush is pressed down into the mucilage A i base first, so that-the ends of the hnirstthnt are used stand upwards and are projected through the neck of the 'l bottle for use, thel head of the brush remaining within the bottle and forming n, stopper 'm the neckthereof, the bottle itself beinginverted foruse and forming the handle.

:In'thedztwing represents 'the ,niuclag'-boitle or holder with n smnilmouth or neclgt,` of e-size to suit` 4the brush.` Vc is the brxishsecured 'in the vheed d. fis n hole through the. hemiot' the brush to supply the muoilageto saithhrlish While in use. In figs. anlA 3 this hole is shown with n. sorejzthreztd to .receive-the screw at the end of the wire' 'gthet terminates with t. tap or cover, z. The hole f ,may he inade larger or smaller, eocording'to the charoeterof the-mncilege. When the -wire is screwed into the hoief thev hrusiicztn-he pushed vdown intofthemucilege and the -cover h close the receptacle or holder la.' When drown .up the tepering -zind elastic heed z' to the brush ferais ail-stopper tothe bottle, and the brush itself projects and is inv-apposition for i use when the `wire g is unscrewed, andremoved. f'fhomucHageholderis to be reversed for using the brush, and

the muciloge runs down into the brush through the' holef te spply the saine es vrequiretirWhen nioremucxlege is not requiredthe rod g is to be screwed in and the brush retnrned. into the'fenntain; Iiiii'g: 3a tube; 1c, e'

is shown, with side holes through it, vandi!! this the brush is moved up or doivn by the ctionfof' the rod or 'wire g, or the brush itself might siide upon a'etatiouary perforated tube.V In iig. 4 thehendle'of the'muclatgc-brush is represented asextending through s hole in the bottom of the fountain, so thetthe brush can be drawn down base end first, end be covered by o. cap, 'shown by dotted lines. In this case the opening the hase of the mucilagve-fountztiii, through Which the brush-handle passes, is to be packed or otherwise mode tight, or n hr1-g of I ndiarubher may enclose the handle. l l

This combined mucilegeDhoIder and brush forms new article of manufacture, andthe pressing of the brush dowu'into the mucilege, or retiring Ait bese first, constitutes the essentiel feature of this invention; and it will be apparent that other devices for retiring the brush bztseirst-,isuch as springs for dreivingthe seme in, or for ejecting it when not-confined by e. screw-cap, may be employefi.V

'What lclaim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A. mucilsge-holder 4and brushitted as specified, so that the brush, when not in use, 1s pressed down into'A the muciiage, and when in position for useis projected from the holder,` a-s set forth. l

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my signature this eleventh day of Moy, A.'D. 1867.
